Choi Ye-na Shut Down Rumors Regarding Alleged Sponsorship Scandal

The former IZ*ONE member Choi Ye Na has personally shut down all the rumors about her involvement with Jaesan Holdings Chairman through an official statement released by her agency.

The singer’s name was recently surfaced in an alleged controversial illegal sponsorship when private messages were leaked of a celebrity named A and the chairman of Jaesan Holdings named Lee Jae Hwan. He is also a younger brother of the chairman of CJ Group. Many people speculated that the celebrity is most likely Choi Ye Na which turned out to be false as per her statements.

The singer-actress Choi Ye Na denied the allegations and clarified in a statement released by her agency, Yuehua Entertainment. 

Her statement started with her greetings and said that she firmly made up her mind to write a few words as her name was mentioned in such a shocking case. She said,

“I think I first learned that I was mentioned in a malicious rumor that isn’t true in the slightest when I was looking at articles while just eating at home. He’s a complete stranger to me, and I felt so speechless and flustered while keeping watch of the whole situation in which my full name came up in something I wasn’t involved in even slightly and as that (rumor) quickly spread as if it were the truth. I’m just running towards my dream and working hard on my job, so I don’t know why I have to experience something so ridiculous…I’m still so angry and upset that there seem to be many people who still believe that (this rumor is true).

It also hurts so much to think about how much the fans must have been just as surprised as I was. I’m not the subject of that rumor. It doesn’t even have the slightest relation to me. Please don’t worry.”

Choi Ye Na continued to share her sad feelings about going through this experience and said that she was shocked mentally but plans on doing her best and shaking things off while thinking about all the fans. She added, “I’ll work to impress further as someone who can receive love with optimistic energy while staying strong, true to my nature. Winter has come in full swing! I hope that everyone no longer suffers from this situation. You all know, right? Please always take care of your health first!”

Her label, Yuehua Entertainment released an official statement that clearly said Choi Ye Na had nothing to do with the rumors and plans to take legal actions against malicious commenters. The statement read, “We are firmly confirming that Choi Ye Na has nothing to do with the said rumors. In response, we are taking strict legal action against malicious commenters who inflicted psychological harm and pain on Choi Ye Na, who is just spreading her wings for her dreams in her early 20s.”
